The Resistant Materials students this weekgot to try their hand at using a Dove tail Jig. This has been so that they can create a decorative joint on their trays which they have been making.
The photos below show Max setting up the dovetail jig ready for use and Kieran using the Table Router for the first time. Both these new machines need full concentration when being used. All the students have used both machines in preparation for their year 11 Controlled Assignments. The aim is that each student can use all the machines in the workshop with full confidence independently next year.
All students are working hard and I’m looking forward to the challenge that the Controlled Assignments will bring for them.
